The Commonwealth of Vasenhogner is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.4 billion Vasenhognerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Andrew City. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vasenhognerian economy, worth 449 trillion Vasens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,249 Vasens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, 'I'm Coming Out' has shot to the top of the nation's music charts, and carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vasenhogner's national animal is the Whale, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Vasenhogner is ranked 116,772^nd in the world and 12^th in Iris for Largest Populations, with 4.40 billion capita.
